Women are approached much less often by recruiters looking for staff than men, even with the tightness on the labor market and staff shortages in multiple sectors. The same holds true for sectors in which many women work, such as healthcare, Financieele Dagblad reports based on a study it commissioned from Intelligence Group.

Intelligence Group keeps track of how often employees, students and unemployed people are approached with an offer of a job. 43 percent of men said they are approached at least once a quarter, compared to 31 percent of women. “We don’t know why that is”, researcher Geert-Jan Waasdorp said to the newspaper.
